The inquisition in the Spanish dependencies
Sicily—Naples—Sardinia—Milan—the Canaries—Mexico—Peru—New Granada
Henry Charles Lea, the Philadelphia publisher who became the leading American historian of the Inquisition, followed his four-volume history of the Spanish Inquisition with this study of the tribunal in the lands Spain ruled outside the peninsula, published in 1908. Chapter by chapter he examines Sicily and Malta, Naples, where the population resisted its introduction, Sardinia, Milan, the Canary Islands, Mexico and the Philippines, Peru and New Granada. Lea shows how the institution adapted to each place, how it clashed with viceroys and local churches, and whom it prosecuted, drawing on Spanish and Italian archives and printing key documents in an appendix. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
